Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to providing secure clearing of electronic payments for a broad range of electronic transactions.
  • BIPS Bank Internet Payment System
  • e- Check Electronic Check
  • OFX Open Financial Exchange
  • FEDI Financial Electronic Data Interchange
  • ACH Automated Clearing House
  • BIPS was a project initiated by the FSTC in 1998. It provides a protocol allowing banks and their customers to conduct secure financial transactions over the Internet, connecting current bank payment mechanisms to Internet users. When a customer sends a payment request instruction to a bank, his request will be authenticated and processed through the existing payment processing systems.
  • E-Check is a new payment instrument aimed at combining the security, speed and processing efficiencies of all- electronic transactions with the familiar and well-developed legal infrastructure and business processes associated with paper checks.
  • the check writer "writes" the e-Check using one of many types of electronic devices and “gives” the e-Check to the payee electronically.
  • the payee "deposits” the electronic check, receives credit, and the payee's bank “clears” the e-Check to the paying bank.
  • the paying bank validates the e-Check and "charges" the check writer's account for the check.
  • the legal infrastructure for widespread acceptance of these checks is still being developed, as issues of electronic "negotiability" remain.
  • OFX is a unified specification for the electronic exchange of financial data between financial institutions, business and consumers via the Internet, created by CheckFree,. Inuit and Microsoft in 1997. It supports a wide range of financial activities including consumer and small business banking, consumer and small business bill payment, bill presentment and investments including stocks, bonds and mutual f nds. By supporting transactional Web sites, thin clients and personal financial software, it claims to streamline the process financial institutions need to connect to multiple customer interfaces, processors and systems integrators.
  • FEDI is a method of exchanging information between banks and their corporate customers ' computer applications in a standardized form, enabling them to send and receive electronic payments the same way purchase orders, invoices and other 'routine business documents are exchanged through ordinary Electronic Data Interchange ("EDI") .
  • EDI Electronic Data Interchange
  • SSL Secure Sockets Layer
  • the Secure Electronic Transactions (“SET”) protocol developed by Visa and MasterCard, was designed to allow the cardholder to send secure payment instructions over open networks and obtain authorization information. It uses both SSL techniques and digital signatures using public key encryption and adds confidence to the payment process by ensuring that merchants are authorized acceptors of the credit card, thereby eliminating a whole category of merchant fraud, and by ensuring that the purchaser is an authorized user of the credit card.
  • This protocol has not been widely used because it remains unwieldy relative to consumer reliance, at least in the United States, on legal limitations on consumer liability for credit card fraud.
  • the SET protocol is also an example of a certification system in which digitally signed certificates are used to ensure that the person associated with a provide signature key is trustworthy.
  • the second category of payment systems empowers consumers or businesses to take possession of electronic money and store it on a card or piece of hardware ("cyberwallets”) before transferring electronic cash over the Internet.
  • Smart Cards such as Mondex or EMV
  • electronic cash systems like ECash, Millicent, WorldPay, or Cybercoin.
  • These devices share the characteristic of simulating legal tender, which can be traded on a distributed basis, providing user privacy relative to centralized systems such as credit cards.
  • ICC Integrated Circuit Card
  • Mondex controlled by MasterCard, uses a smart card to store electronic cash, which can be used to pay for goods and services in the same way as cash. Funds are stored remotely on the user's actual card, each of which is certified by a Mondex digital signature.
  • the system is unique in that it can accommodate card-to-card transfers. When a transfer occurs between a consumer and a merchant, the two cards first verify each other's authenticity. If both are authentic, the transfer between the two cards is sequentially processed. This means that funds are deducted from the consumer's card before they are written to the merchant's card.
  • the system requires each e-market participant to own a Mondex card.
  • Visa Cash a bearer certificate product from Visa, is chip card-based. A microchip embedded in each plastic card stores monetary value.
  • E-Cash is digital coinage for on-line transactions developed by Digicash.
  • a customer withdraws e-cash from a bank and stores it on his computer.
  • the client software is called a "cyberwallet" ' and is responsible for withdrawing and depositing coins from a bank and for paying and receiving coins from a merchant .
  • Consumer privacy is the cornerstone of the e-Cash model .
  • DigiCash believes that the issuing bank should not necessarily know which customers receive which digital tokens . Therefore the customer himself has to create blank tokens, using his electronic purse software, and forward them to the bank for certification. The bank then stamps a signature on each coin, debits the client's account and e-mails the tokens back over the Internet .
  • MilliCent is an Internet payment system for small-scale commercial transactions . It is optimized for buying and selling digital products, like newsletters, real-time data feeds, MP3 music and software, over the Internet.
  • the MilliCent Wallet uses electronic tokens called scrip that can be spent on the Web. Scrip is kept safely on the user's local computer storage and protected by a personal identification number or password. Payments can be made in two ways: one can "pay-per-click" to buy digital products below credit card transaction floors, or one can open a subscription that allows unrestricted access.
  • WorldPay is a secure multi-currency electronic payment system. The shopper has to open a WorldAccount by making a payment from their credit or debit card. WorldPay handles the micro-payments over the Internet by transferring funds from the customer's account to the merchant's WorldPay bank account. Unused funds can be returned any time to the original credit or debit card used to fund the WorldAccount.
  • Cybercoin developed in 1996 by CyberCash, relies on a notational system rather than a bearer certificate model. As with any other digital cash scheme, the consumer has to prepay in order to get CyberCoins .
  • a key difference between CyberCoin and other models is that the value of these Cybercoins is not transferred to the consumer's PC or chip card., but is held in escrow in a proxy account set aside for that consumer at CyberCash' s bank in Virginia.
  • CyberCoins are transferred from the consumer's CyberCash Wallet to the merchant's CashRegister, using CyberCash as the central processor for the transaction. Basically CyberCash only keeps track of which consumer is paying which merchant and in what amount.
  • the system's surplus value is based on the fact that each transaction doesn't require inter-bank clearing and settlement, which allows CyberCash to accommodate low dollar transactions cost-effectively.
  • electronic payment systems using digital cash as means of payment include at least one major risk. Since e-money is embodied in digital form (as specific sequences of bits) and its creation completely software-based, an item of e-money is easy to duplicate perfectly. Because the copy is indistinguishable from the original, a trivial e-money system would allow a consumer to copy a piece of e-money and spend both copies. "Real world anchors" such as a physical smart card with encrypted access are required to avoid that situation.
  • a major problem in the existing electronic payment systems using digital money is the necessity of commitment from the Internet consumer and the merchant to a new financial service provider.
  • both payer and payee must open an account, cyberwallet, or a similar product linking them permanently to the virtual financial service provider.
  • the new financial service provider has sought to replace traditional banks . The question if those new products can be trusted remains unanswered.
  • the solution provided by the invention is to distribute trust decisions in electronic commerce, including identity verification (authentication) and credit checking, to the entities traditionally most qualified to make such judgments on a commercial basis - the banks that already have relationship with the parties - and to aggregate transaction posting locally to avoid network congestion.
  • An "e-credit line” is established for a customer at its "local” bank in a "physical” account like a traditional cash credit line, with the local bank's judgment applied to traditional risk factors plus developing experience with electronic commerce plus market conditions to determine the size and pricing of the account and transactions.
  • An “e-clearing bank” is provided in which groups of local banks may channel communications among themselves and with electronic marketplaces concerning transaction verification as well settlement and -clearing of payments through "bank e-credit lines" at the "e-clearing bank” which aggregate bank client e-credit lines.
  • bank e-credit lines at the "e-clearing bank” which aggregate bank client e-credit lines.
  • local banks may achieve significant savings by "netting" transactions among e-credit lines of its own customers and actually transferring cash in or out periodically (for example once per day) according to the "netting" of its aggregate e-credit lines tracked at the e- clearing bank and transferred through the e-clearing bank or through traditional channels .
  • the invention By placing the financial trust decisions exactly where they have been for generations - in the banks of the parties - the invention has the advantage of providing a higher level of confidence, trust, and affordability for businesses and consumers than can be achieved through the new financial service firms . This also allows a more accurate allocation of risk to the buyer through its bank, which is presumed knowledgeable about its credit history and financial health. On the other hand, it allows buyers to shop for better deals with other banks, allowing market forces to do their work.
  • the invention also has the advantage of maximizing security and privacy by minimizing transmission and possession of financial information. Parties may avoid the exchange of financial data over the Internet - even between themselves .
  • the invention enables transaction parties to keep their financial information where it has been provided traditionally: at its bank.
  • Electronic marketplaces are also benefited by the invention. They are relieved of the burden of verification and of handling financial information about the parties, both of which involve additional operating costs and exposure to liability.
  • the invention allows the marketplaces to focus on their primary mission: to match transaction parties and facilitate formation of contracts.
  • the invention provides local banks the substantial advantage of new relevance and the opportunity to become central players in electronic commerce at the relatively low cost of establishing e-credit lines for its customers and establishing the clearing arrangement here disclosed.
  • the invention has the advantage of immediacy.
  • the "real world anchor" required for much of electronic commerce - otherwise provided by deliveries to billing addresses and expensive "out of band” verifications — is already there in the existing banking relationships and simply needs to be tapped according to the invention.
  • the invention has the further advantage of avoiding multitudinous direct transfers of funds in favor of periodic netting and clearing of accounts channeled through the existing secure network of banks. It also allows more complex payment options that banks can handle more readily than electronic marketplaces .

  • an "e- credit line” is established by an electronic commerce participant with a traditional bank, typically the "local" bank (which may not be geographically proximate) with which it has done business and which knows its business .
  • the acceptance of an e-credit line by a client is a payment commitment of the client. Since this e-credit is a commitment of the local bank to pay this amount at any time, the local bank might charge a reservation or maintenance fee for this e- credit line.
  • the local bank In order to proceed to financial transactions on the Internet, the local bank will act as a representative of its clients, as it does in the traditional payment system. It will be the client's local bank that will check the identity of its client signing the purchase or sales contract and giving the payment instruction and that will execute the physical transfer of the funds .

  • Clearing bank 60 sends copies of the authenticated contract document to each of local bank 30 and local bank 40 on secure bank lines 63 and 64 respectively (which may be updated for open B2B transactions) for verification of the authentication (signature) of buyer 10 and seller 20 respectively.
  • Local bank 30 verifies (and "authenticates") the signature of buyer 10, by comparing the signature (in the case of digital signatures, the encrypted hash results) against information on file with local bank 30
  • Dashed lines 13 and 24 indicate inherent (historical) or optional out-of-band communications between local banks 30 and 40 and their respective clients buyer 10 and seller 11 and seller 20 and buyer 21.
  • local bank 30 may send an e-mail over line 13 to its client buyer 10 that advises of the blocking of its e-credit line.
  • buyer 10 may be required to confirm the e-mail to local bank 30 and only when that is done would local bank 30 confirm the deal to the e-clearing bank 60 .
  • Yet another security feature might be the transmission from electronic marketplace 50 to buyer 10 and to bank 30 of a secured unique deal reference and a requirement that local bank 30 request and obtain over line 13 confirmation of the deal by provision of a unique deal reference matching the one by the bank. These additional measures slow the transaction, but may be provided as premium services. In general, however, no real time direct transmission of information is required between the local banks and their clients, and no financial information about the clients need be transmitted during between the striking of the deal and the closing of the transaction.
